Checking in daily to maintain focus #63

75 days in the bank

Had a good morning but then hit a bit of a funk in the afternoon. Got most of what I needed doing done but I didn’t mange my time well which resulted in me stressing and rushing around.
In amongst that I had a nice time watching my girls train at the gym.
Still now there’s things I could have done earlier but now have to do them before bed.

@Mno I already said it and I have to repeat myself: your bike related pictures drive my biker’s heart nuts :star_struck:. I want civilised bike infrastructure all over the world! :grin: Have a good rest day.
@Dustysprungfield I remember reading from others that sometimes the big numbers on their counters maid them nervous and caused some anxiety about their sobriety in the future. It might be a good idea to take the focus off the numbers and on ODAAT. Wishing you peace of mind.
@Lile01 Congrats on double digits. You are quite the fighter!
@KrissyMae Good job reaching out for help to your bf. :+1:t2: I remember how asking my partner to remove my DOC from my reach was a huge step for me.
@JazzyS :battery:Battery full of magical energy coming through!
@Jules000 That stuffed friend of yours looks soooo adorable :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
@Button83 Good thing you’re back!
@Butterflymoonwoman I hope your toe heals very soon :mending_heart:

Today things feel peaceful again. I’m sure some intense emotions will come up during the day, as they will in the days to come. But I’m calm. It’s going to be alright.

I’m looking forward to a slow work day today. Designing classes, creating components, coding. Logic and craft. Nothing upsetting :wink:

A walk in the afternoon. Have to add to my explorer tiles. I love these kinds of geo games. Some errands.
A good yoga session, maybe anime.

Whatever your day brings. May you be in peace, in kindness, and in freedom :peace_symbol::people_hugging::dove:

Checking in Day 119)

Hello :slight_smile: I’m doing alright, I took a bit of a break through January so I could focus on my inventory. It was rough going but really worth it. At the moment, I’m out of work but meh. I’m helping my Dad move house and trying other meetings in other places which are proving to be okay but not quite as “nice” as the ones in my hometown but my guess is that’s just a case of familiarity.

I hope everyone is doing well and keeping sober :slight_smile:

Day 16 AF

TW kind of ED… bla

Bad thoughts about my body don’t stop.

Although I am the fastest shark in the pool,
I feel like shit.

Last time I did hard restrictive things (1 week shake diet) i relapsed after 77 days. Obviously not an option.

I just read something that said something like, there are a ton of books and programs about how to change your body but not very many about liking your body as it is.

You aren’t alone in this.

How do you feel about AI? clever isn’t it? So smart and revolutionary.

Well, it can’t self regulate or reproduce or swim or have sex or eat delicious food or go to the opera or cry at a movie or ponder EATS, SHOOTS, AND LEAVES or EATS SHOOTS AND LEAVES.

I have so many flaws that sometimes I imagine that’s all someone can see. Like a pair of comedy 80s Barbara Windsor boobs with no body or head. We must love what we have. We must care for it dearly. I’m learning too ladies. We are magnificent. Apart from the mycelium structure and cells itself (life still), there is no greater mystery and joy on earth than our own skin and bones. Much love you beautiful women :revolving_hearts:

Day 236. Second check in. My son missed a family wedding, he messaged me to say he hadn’t been invited, so I explained well he doesn’t make any effort… Then he said so why should he be at it then… Wtf? Why am I trying :confused:

Checking in Day 1

I am doing well this morning. I am feeling ready to tackle the day and live life in sobriety. I am trying to remember 1 day at a time. I want to try to lean in more to practicing daily gratitude. My wife recently has been asking me the question, “What are you grateful for?” almost every day. I dont think I have been taking that question seriously enough. I also am looking forward to leaning into prayer over Lent this year to prepare for Easter. If I take it one day at a time and maintain daily spiritual practice… thats a step.

I am currently reading the book “The body is not an apology: The power of radical self-love” by Sonya Renee Taylor. I’m not done yet, but I realy love her take on the injured relationships we have with our bodies and on body shame.

@GOKU2019 good to read from you :blush: congrats on 850+ days :tada:
@Lile01 congrats on double digits :tada:

1283 days no alcohol.
748 days no cocaine.
263 days no vape.
8 days no binge-eating.

Checking-in with yesterday’s numbers…

Caught the bus to the city centre, then walked to where I see the physio. No massage yesterday. We tried a strength test which was abominable! So he’s referring me for rehab. Another 3hr round trip for a 10min appointment.

When I got home I sorted all my meds for the next week.

There has been fraudulent activity on my bank account, someone used my card details to make a payment last week, so I reported it and my bank said they had to cancel my card, so I’m waiting for a new one which still hasn’t arrived, I’m anxious because I have subscriptions that payments are now declining from. And I need to top up my phpne credit within the next 3 days so I’m really hoping it arrives by then. I can see all the declined transactions the fraudster is trying to make, including some international ones as well on my bank app, and it’s really scary, I dont know how someone has got my card details.

Today, in just over an hour, I meet with the guy who is in recovery from addiction. Nervous but intrigued.

Time to get ready.

The card stuff happened to me once too. The people from the bank told me they just take some random card number and try it hoping the owner won’t notice on time. You can’t protect yourself from this kind of stuff. You did everything you could. Spotting it on time and contacting the bank is the best way do deal with it.
And yeah, I had to wait for the replacement card too. No fun. Hope yours will arrive sooooooon!
